About this concert

When Robert Plane鈥檚 recording of Iain Hamilton鈥檚 Clarinet Concerto was released in 2020, 成人论坛 Music Magazine hailed 鈥榓 thrilling rediscovery from an unfairly neglected composer.鈥� Inspired by the Book of Genesis, William Wallace鈥檚 mighty 'Creation Symphony', meanwhile, is by turns rousing, mysterious, and warmly lyrical.

Martyn Brabbins, who has recorded both works with the orchestra, opens with another by his friend, Judith Weir. He鈥檚 also behind one of two short new viola works commissioned by our players (the other by Sir James MacMillan) both receiving their World Premieres here.

This concerts ends at approximately 4.05pm.
* Please note there has been a change in the programme order.
